Stop Worrying About Offshoring and Outsourcing

Foreign companies have been "on-shoring" in the United States for years.

Foreign automakers built more than 3 million cars at 16 facilities in the United States in 2011 with 70 percent of Japanese cars sold in the U.S. made in North America.

Announcements of acquisitions or new plants in the U.S. are made almost every day by a non-U.S. companies, like Airbus, Siemens, Lenovo, Infosys, Ikea, and Foxconn.

Indeed, foreign companies employ nearly 6 million Americans, account for 13 percent of manufacturing jobs and about 18 percent of exports.

Stories of foreign investment in the U.S. have been matched in the past few years with the "re-shoring" of overseas work back to the U.S.

Iconic American companies like Apple, Google, Caterpillar, Ford, Emerson, GE, and Intel are adding plants and jobs in the U.S. or North America.

The decisions are driven by some of the economic trends noted earlier (competitive overall cost for U.S. markets, desire to "make" not "buy" and integrate corporate functions for innovation close to customer).

These examples are counter to the actual trend. Americans should rightfully fear offshoring and outsourcing. Obviously. Look at the unemployment rates here.

For most of the public, this significant modification in the off-shoring, out-sourcing debate is not well understood and people still revert to the old schematic.


This is because of politics.


Broad adjustments in knowledge and attitudes about changes in global economic integration is necessary in developed "market capitalism" to reach the right balance of policies promoting the long-term ideal of global competition, adopting near term measures that counter state capitalism without engaging in crony capitalism, recognizing that with competition new domestic jobs may replace old ones and protecting domestic workers whose jobs may be lost due to technology and productivity - not just changes in trade.

If it wasn't for treasonous behavior of Southern States like South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee selling our nation out it wouldn' bet a problem, would it?

But hey, if they want to exploit their own people for shit wages and be Germany and Japan's version of Mexico....more power to them. If they want to remain a 3rd world nation.....more power to them. Just don't lay your hypocritical right wing bullshit on us cause we're not going to tolerate such stupid and treasonous behavior....but wtf man.....there's no law about being stupid. Ya'll want be stupid....go right ahead my friend. It aint no sweat off my brow.

In other words, be treasonous and suck jizz from foreign money interest, line your own pockets and fuck your own people, the environment and to hell with the best interest of your nation.

Sweet. Love how you right wingers walk the talk when it comes to patriotism! Nice!

LOL at libs who want low prices, strict environmental laws, high taxes and lots of red tape for employers but don't understand that government regulation drove manufacturing jobs away to countries that offered more attractive places to work plus lower labor costs.

How many of you libs are pounding out your poutrage on a device made by Asian child labor?

No. It's the availability of foreign slaves that drove jobs overseas, and morally bankrupt business leaders willing to do it. We used to not trade with countries that gave their citizens no rights and treated them as slaves. We should go back to that. A race to the bottom only benefits corporate ass-munchers.
